'East' from RodF: The Hard Choice

A
group of scientists under the employ of the Saito-Federov Corporation
are currently on the surface of Oizys performing a geological survey.
They are heading South in a company grav hauler to a series of survey
sites around a very large canyon.

Cruising along...

At
the edge of the canyon, the scientists get out of the vehicle to
stretch their legs and have a look at the canyon. They also need to
decide which survey site they will visit next.

The discussion begins.

Dr.
William Hurst: "Well, site T-2-A is closest in distance due East, but
the terrain is pretty rough so it will take us about two hours longer
than it would to go to T-3-B which is straight West."

Dr.
Debra Stanton: "That sounds more appealing to me. Maybe the shuttle's
maintenance will be done by then and it can lift us to the other sites."

Dr.
Victor Johnson: "The satellite team shows the movement of some
hazardous bios that will be in our path if we go West. I know its a
faster trip, but may not be worth the risk right now. These are very
large worms that are known to be aggressive."

Dr. Pam Talley: "Oh don't tell me..."Dr.
Victor Johnson: "And the larvae have a very phallic appearance.
Locals have taken to calling them P-Worms. They will attack just about
anything that moves."

Dr. Pam Talley: "P-Worms. Just our luck. The whole thing would be captured on satellite too."

Each team member imagines the attack.

Dr. Debra Stanton: "Ok, let's vote then. East or West? I vote East."Dr. Pam Talley: "East. I don't won't to be remembered in a company dispatch as the team that was eaten by a very large..."Dr. Debra Stanton: "Willy?"Dr. William Hurst: "Definitely East. I have no desire to tangle with a huge worm that looks like a..."Dr. Debra Stanton: "Johnson?"Dr. Victor Johnson: "I vote East."

Dr. Debra Stanton: "Alright, that's four votes for East. Let's mount up and get out of here."And so the team headed East.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------13 - 28mm Worms from Excalibur Miniatures4 - 15mm figures from Ground Zero Games1 - 15mm vehicle from Darkest Star GamesThe cargo in the back of the Grav Hauler was made out of plasticard, random bits of wire and plastic, and some green stuff.
